Abstract
The expression of 13 genes involved in the biosynthesis of polyphenols in potato tubers were investigated using real-time RT-PCR. Five cultivars presenting contrasting polyphenolic profiles were analysed and compared both under control and drought conditions. The expression of eight genes was coordinated and truly reflected at the metabolite level, providing important information on key genes, which could be exploited for the development of potato varieties with enhanced health benefits.
